TAHLEQUAH, Okla. —Cherokee Nation and city of Collinsville officials cut the ribbon and officially opened the doors Tuesday to a new, larger Cherokee Nation Collinsville tag office on Main Street.

“The transition to a larger office will enable us to accommodate more Cherokee Nation citizens acquiring vehicle and boat license tags,” said Cherokee Nation Principal Chief Bill John Baker. “More tags bring more funds for vital Cherokee Nation services and allow us to contribute millions of dollars to our public schools, including Collinsville.”

“We wanted to make it easier for our citizens to come in and get a tag, and be comfortable during the process,” said Cherokee Nation Tax Commission Administrator Sharon Swepston.

The new location at 107 E. Main Street opened its doors for business June 3. The office is now hiring a fourth agent to fulfill the demand.

“It is a pleasure to work with the Cherokee Nation,” said Collinsville Vice Mayor Bud York. “Collinsville will continue to grow and prosper because of relationships such as the one with the Cherokee Nation.”

Cherokee Nation tag offices are also open in Tahlequah, Adair, Jay and Sallisaw.
